What's the point of this thread?
To stop the "omg new battlecruisers gimmie details" threads that keep spawning. I have posted the same info too many bloody times so I'm making a central point for it.
When will they be coming out?
When Kali comes out.
When is Kali scheduled to be finished?
Last year.
What are their stats?
The only thing we have to base the answer on are the place holder stats in the item database (the full one, not the one on this website). However, looking at the values it seems very possible that they will be released in thier current forum, or at least something very close to it.
You will notice that the pictures and descriptions are for the current battlecruisers. Ignore them - like I said these are mearly placeholders as they don't have publicly revealed names and descriptions.
That didn't answer the question
No, it provided the answers to all the questions that get asked about the placeholder stats.
So what does the Amarr one look like?
I don't know, none of the models have been released yet.
You know what I mean...
Of course I do, but I get a sick sense of pleasure out of making you wait.
So really, what are the stats for the Amarr one?
Amarr Tier 2 Battlecruiser
What you can work out from those stats: not a lot. However, as the current Amarr battlecruiser follows the Maller -> Apoc tradition (i.e. tanking), it's quite safe to assume the tier 2 one will go into the Omen -> Geddon path, i.e. a gank damage platform.
Progression: Omen -> Amarr Tier 2 BC -> Geddon (possibly)
Cool. What about Caldari?
Caldari Tier 2 Battlecruiser
It's a missile platform. Yes I'm fully aware the ferox can use as many missiles as it can hybrids, but it only gets bonuses to the hybrids. With a 7/3 launcher/turret ratio, there is no question that it's designed to spam missiles.
Progression: Caracal -> Caldari Tier 2 BC -> Raven
What about Gallente?
Gallente Tier 2 Battlecruiser
It's a drone boat. Much like the brutix follows the Thorax -> Megathron path, this one provides gallente with another drone boat.
Progression: Vexor -> Gallente tier 2 bc -> Dominix
Last but not least...
Minmatar Tier 3 Battlecruiser
An armour tanker with 7 turret slots. Imagine a slightly less brutal Sleipnir that can spare the midslots to tackle you fully.
Progression: Since when did Minmatar ships have a set progression?
What about the ship's bonuses?
Unknown.
Anything else?
No. You can go away now.
Do you have plans to correct your spelling and format it better?
I said you can go away now.

well since anyone can buy the BPO and produce from it, there won't be any shortage of supply. I doubt they'll be much more than 30m, if that

they are basic tech 1 ships, so you will be able to buy the bpo straight off the market and build them yourself (assuming ccp doesn't try and seed more t1 bpos through the lottery system).

they are tier 2 ships, not tech 2 ships :), so the bpos will be readily available to buy, just like the current battlecruiser bpos are.
unless of course, ccp decides to pull another expanded cargohold I/shield boost amp I on us.

Tier3@~32%3bAmarr.xml
Tier3@~32%3bCaldari.xml
Tier3@~32%3bGallente.xml
Tier3@~32%3bMinmtar.xml

Re: 25k PG on Tier 3 BS:s
25k grid on all of them almost and Amarr one has a bit more...
Probably to try i fiddle in the 8 largest Artillerys / Rails / Blasters / Tachyons and still have PG for 2 of those 1500 PG Warp Scramblers and 2 or 3 Armor repairers and a Cap Injector or 2 ...
Just a thought ;-)

That new version of the Cyclone looks more like it follows the Tempest whereas the original Cyclone looks more like the Typhoon with fewer turrets and more drones.
The ruppie and the stabber are kinda sorta the same way.

You could speculate about these bonuses. The ones quoted here are for the tier 2 Amarr battlecruiser.
It's fairly safe to assume that the bonuses are 5% to energy turret rof per level and 10% to energy turret cap use per level.
Quote:

Similarly here you could speculate. 10% velocity/flight time per level is likely, but the second bonuse could either be 5% rof, 5% target radius bonus for missiles or a 5% target velocity bonus for missiles.

personally, i wonder why they didn't introduce tier2 before t2 BCs - now they will either have to modify the existing command ships onto new hulls, or make a new class of t2 BCs using the tier2 hulls
sigs of the 23/24/25 hijack just as well -eris

the least they'll have to do is upgrade the stats of the Tech II BC's, because the Tier 2's will come awefully close
EDIT: and that's probably why these placeholders will never see the daylight

the only 2 that come awfully close are the minmatar one (but that armour tanks instead of shield tanks) and the caldari one (which could quite easily become the missile command ship).
